    Selling a matched pair of Sylvania 2A3 (dual flat plates).
    $305 net to me shipped with insurance for friends/contributors
    $330 net to me otherwise

    Was originally purchased NOS by m17xr2b from vivatubes and he posts about and has pictures of the exact pair here:
    https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/donald-north-audio-—-owners-thread.2586/page-17
    I've added about 70-90 hours to these and per m17xr2b I think he added less than 100.

    No noise, microphonics, or other issues with these tubes. Selling because for a similar price I prefer RCA 2A3s for my Stellaris and have 2 pairs of RCAS + other tubes already. I have no other amps that require 2A3 nor do I plan on acquiring one so I want to give someone else on SBAF a chance to enjoy these at a fair price without having to gamble on ebay. Tubes were always allowed to warm up for 15 minutes before any signal went into the amp, always left on for at least 1 hour per use. Tubes/amp were never pushed hard, usually listen with volume between 1-2, max 3-4 for a short period of time. Unfortunately I don't have a way to measure these.

    Shipping included via Fedex Ground to lower 48 states. +$30 shipping to AK/HI, +$40 shipping to most of Canada (this will include duties/customs charges being paid for by me). PM for other countries/locations.

    Edit: Am also willing to consider trades for a pair of minimally used/newish Verum 1 in bubinga or carbon fiber

    Will put these on HF as well (not in a week as originally expected due to potential travel).
